+ | My research focuses on investigating programming language support to deal with the effects engendered by partial failures in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). In MANETs many partial failures are the result of temporary network partitions due to the intermittent connectivity of mobile devices. Some of these failures will be permanent and require application-level failure handling. However, it is impossible to distinguish a permanent from a transient failure. Leasing provides a solution to this problem based on the temporal restriction of resources. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This research identifies a number of criteria for a leasing model specially designed for MANETs and proposes the //leased object references// | ||

+ | Thanks to the work of the other people on this page, programming applications for mobile devices is now as easy as, say, writing a blog. However, | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the Real World(tm) we do group communication without giving it a second thought, changing conversation topics as people leave and rejoin the group. Likewise, we effortlessly do service composition: | ||
+ | |||
+ | My research intends to provide abstractions that bind a number of services residing on different mobile devices into coherent entities. Programmers can then use these abstractions to communicate with groups of services as easily as with single services. | ||

+ | Current-day applications for mobile phones and PDAs are often limited to miniature versions of standard desktop | ||
+ | applications such as browsers, calendar and word processing applications. Only a fraction of the available | ||
+ | applications allows the mobile devices to interact directly with their environment. One of the reasons for this is that | ||
+ | even for the simplest interactions between mobile devices, the implementation needs to deal with a lot of problems | ||
+ | that are inherent to a pervasive computing environment (e.g. frequent disconnections, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Last year, I have been involved in the development of (a concrete implementation of) the Fact Space Model, an | ||
+ | extension to the tuple space model which provides fine-grained control over the effects of disconnections. | ||
+ | Using a declarative language, every device can specify how it will adjust its behaviour in response to dynamic changes | ||
+ | in its environment. Currently, I am working on an extension of this model that allows applications to work on shared and replicated data. | ||
+ | The use of weak data replication in a mobile environment ensures that there is no need to stop an ongoing application when certain data cannot be synchronized. | ||

+ | In an Ambient Intelligent setting, various kinds of hardware are involved, each with its own characteristics. To allow abstraction over the different devices, a standard virtual machine approach is not feasible because it is not possible to abstract over all the devices at the same time. Instead, each device will require an individually adapted virtual machine. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This reseach proposes a new way to develop virtual machines for Ambient Intelligence. Instead of manually modifying the virtual machine for of a particular device, the virtual machine can be generated by composing reusable modules. The first step is to determine the set of modules that can be used to build a virtual machine. The next step is to find implementation and composition techniques that guarantee the correctness and efficiency of the generated virtual machine. | ||
